Ok, there is a close family member of mine that has moved out of there spouses house because of ex problems because a kid is involved. The whole time he has been gone all he does is worry about her and what she is doing so much he has anxiety now, which has led to deep depression. All day he throws up and constantly talks about her every minute of the day. He can't sleep because of constant worry and is scared of breaking up with her so much that he is suicidal and i have to hide his guns from him and babysit him every night to where i lose sleep over it because of what he might do to himself. He says if they split up he will do harm to her and if he cant live at her house no one can and wont do anything at all but worry about going back to her house. He Blames all of his depression and anxiety on her and says its her fault because she made him this way, in which my opinion is he did it to himself because he didnt have to worry as much as he did about it. What would this be considered?

He is definitely obsseive! At first it was love, but then now he is depressed because of the problem and it turned into an obssesion. Keep taking the guns away from him. He most likely has depression along with a mental illness. If he really loved her or was just obssessed with her he would not kill himself or injure her. Right now he actually seems like a threat and can hurt you, himself, or her. As soon as you can I would take him to a phsychiatrist or doctor. He needs help. Try to keep him from her as much as it hurts him in the end it will be better for everyone. He did do it to himself and has no one else to blame. He needs to get over it, but will probably not be able to do it himself and needs a doctor. You are doing a really good thing watching him. Good luck to all of you :-)

I'd consider this very much along the lines of "mental illness" and as they say, he could be working towards a psychotic break.
He has to be seen by a professional ASAP ... especially before it escalates to his doing harm to anyone....
He could very well be going on the assumption that if he threatens enough it will get back to her and she'll feel badly and get back with him...or, he could truly mean what he's saying to the point where he acts upon it and blood is shed.
If you can't get him to see someone you may have to force this issue and have him put into a psych hospital for testing...when he threatens harm to himself and others, that is a signal that you have to take what he's saying very seriously.
The guilt that would eat you up if this was ignored as being nothing more than threats...would be overwhelming...how you fell into the middle of this I don't know, but you are very strong for having done so...now you have to be even stronger and know that the help (whatever level it is) that you get him is for his own good as well as the safety of others.
If he has a doctor call them, explain the situation and see what they say...if that doesn't work, call the local Psychology/Psychiatric facility and tell them... He may hate you in the early stages but that's fine, you are only protecting him and others including yourself.
Good luck!

Obsessive...he is cleary depressed and should seek medical attention before he hurts himself or someone else. It's not just mental, depression is a real, physical illness that he may not be able to conquer on his own.
Talk to someone who will address the issue with him...he needs your help!
God Bless and Merry Christmas!

Dude defnately needs and intervention and some therapy. If you can think of anyone else you would want to share the circumstances with who cares about him, call a professional intervention specialist and get together. You are dealing with a potentially explosive situation.

Diagnosis: a SERIOUS case of O-B-S-E-S-S-I-O-N
Prescription: a therapist, a psychiatrist.
Reason: This man needs serious help. He could become violent to the point where he may even kill you or her for that matter. And he's becoming suicidal so I suggest a psychiatrist that deals in that area of expertise.

This would be considered up to you to help solve. If I were in that situation, I would invite his ex over and find out how he will react o her, then, if the reaction was positive, I would see how he would react to the child, unless it is about the ex being pregnant. I would either do that or write to his ex and explain the situation to her. She should know what to do, and if she doesn't, get him a shrink.
